OceanFront Room Review
Great stay. Beach access is 15 feet from the Hotel. Amazing Ocean View since we have an OceanFront room. The heater is a little tricky. Just make sure you go to the setting that looks like a "Sun" and all the emoji settings are lit, especially the one that says Eheater and Save. Even got a late check out for free.

Great location and comfortable.
Everyone was helpful. Great location and loved the fire pit areas. The bed was so comfortable. There is no pool or gym but the ocean is right outside.

6/10 Good

Cost and value don't line up
The carpets are not impressive as they felt grimy and the bathroom had some water damage on the walls and door. We were right off the lobby so it was very noisy. The crew stocked the supply room at 5:30am, so that was unpleasant. The large gap under the door let in light from the hall and sound from other guests. There is an upcharge for everything, so be prepared to pay more than the posted room rate. $25 to park. $10 a day for Wi-Fi. The coffee bar is pricey with no complimentary breakfast. Two scrambled eggs were $10.79. Overall I felt the cost of our stay didn't reflect the value... I won't be back.

Beautiful location, uncomfortable beds.
Beautiful spot. Room was clean, staff was friendly. The only problem is the beds were uncomfortable. The mattresses were way too soft and squishy like they had been well used. I expect more for the price.

You will pay for every service at the hotel, including parking in their lot, which costs $25 a night. The location is great, but there are other locations at the exact cost and with more excellent service.
